Package: cvs Version: 1:1.12.9-17 Severity: normal I have a default $CVSROOT value on all my accounts, even when the corresponding directory isn't a valid CVS repository. When I want to do some operation on a working directory, cvs shouldn't look at $CVSROOT since the working directory has the necessary information about the corresponding CVS repository. However one can see that this is not the case, and cvs may fail even when the $CVSROOT value is useless:
For instance, I have a working directory ~/software/rox/rox, and I can do: dixsept:~/software/rox/rox> cvs log README [output: log of the README file] dixsept:~/software/rox/rox> cd .. dixsept:~/software/rox> cvs log rox/README cvs [log aborted]: /home/vlefevre/cvsroot/CVSROOT: No such file or directory I shouldn't have got an error here. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.4-20051215 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages cvs depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.70 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cvs recommends: ii emacs-snapshot-gtk [info-br 1:20060120-2 The GNU Emacs editor (with GTK+ 2. ii emacs21 [info-browser] 21.4a-3 The GNU Emacs editor ii info [info-browser] 4.8-4 Standalone GNU Info documentation ii konqueror [info-browser] 4:3.5.1-1 KDE's advanced file manager, web b ii netbase 4.24 Basic TCP/IP networking system -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
